    Fantastic Photographer!

    Jeni photographed our non-profit luncheon and was professional and detailed. She also did head shots for our honorees. All of our honorees and guests enjoyed interacting with Jeni and the photos turned out beautifully.

    If I could give Jeni more stars than just 5, I would do so in a heartbeat!!! She is a genuine soul with an eye for capturing the most vivid details of a moment. Many of the images Jeni has taken astounds me and takes my breath away; she truly has a talent for snapping experiences that you forever get to relieve through her photos. Jeni has a heart of friendliness and warmth that makes everyone feel comfortable around her, from crying kids to cranky grandparents. :) We had the pleasure of hiring Jeni to take surprise engagement photos at Magnolia Gardens in Charleston, SC and were so impressed by her work and her character (we even became friends!), we hired her again to be our wedding photographer at Woodlawn Estate in Ridge, MD. Even our family members have now hired Jeni to take photos -- she's THAT GOOD!!! You can confidently count on Sea Star Arts to provide you with outstanding photography that captures your most cherished moments! Hire Jeni; you won't be disappointed--ever!!!

    Jeni is amazing and was so flexible with us and our schedule. We would highly recommend her to any bride and groom. The photos are fantastic and we didn't have to look into the bright sunlight for pics...which was so nice!!!

    JENI RONE IS AWESOME! She is so loving and sweet. She is a knowledgable photographer and she uses her skills at any and every given opportunity on your special day. The entire ceremony and reception, she was snapping away. She caught some of the most beautiful moments that I wouldn't expect. She was the first person I saw when walking down the isle... it was a relief to know that she was catching every important moment there was. She took my brand new husband and I outside of the reception for a private photo session too, just because the sunset was just right and wanted a set of romantic photos. It was so much fun! She coached us and also allowed us to feel natural. I get camera shy so I don't know how to "pose" and she made me feel comfortable enough to enjoy the time with my new husband. She took really beautiful shots of all of the little details: my shoes, my veil, the bouquet, she even got a great one of our shadow on the ground... She was such a pleasure and I will hire her for all of our photography needs.

    Jeni is hands down the #1 photographer in Charleston. She goes above and beyond to make her clients happy. Plus, she's down to earth and really easy to get along with. I can't tell you how many compliments we get on our wedding and engagement photos!! We love Sea Star Arts and we love working with the talented Jeni Rone!!! Can't wait for our maternity shoot this Fall as we await the arrival of our baby girl. Jeni is the obvious choice for your special day.

    Amazing!!! The personal attention Jeni gave us made our day that much more special. If you are looking for a photographer who will make you feel like the most special person in the world look no further. When my hubs was struggling to find a getaway car that he liked, Jeni pointed him in the right direction. It's the little things that she does that are so special. If I could give her 10 stars I would. Choose Sea Star Arts and you won't be disappointed!!!!!

    Besides the bride & groom, the photographer is the most important role at a wedding. You spend so much time together so it's so important that you genuinely like the photographer you choose, and you absolutely cannot go wrong with Jeni of Seastar Arts.

    She is everything you would expect - professional, punctual, and thoughtful - but she's also funny, personable, and a joy to be around. She is someone you genuinely want to share your wedding day with. During our bridal portraits and family photos, she was great fun, but then at the quieter moments such as during the ceremony, you hardly knew she was there and yet she somehow manages to get these amazing shots.

    Jeni of Seastar Arts went above and beyond for us on our wedding day. In between the ceremony and reception, she even had cold waters for my new husband and me, which was just what we needed now that some of the pressure was off!

    You can't go wrong with Seastar Arts. She will make your wedding day even more memorable, and she will capture every detail in the most amazing and beautiful way.

    From our first meeting with Jeni, we knew that she was the perfect photographer to capture our wedding.
    Jeni was just so easy to work with, always professional yet very personable, passionate about her work yet attentive to her bride and groom, always responsive yet very easy going.
    She truly has a keen eye for details and it shows in the pictures she takes. Her creativity and her work with light truly make the photographs very unique.
    She goes above and beyond in every aspect possible and she delivers photos that represented us.
    Jeni gave us a beautiful gift by letting us re-live our special day through the photographs.
    We look forward to working with Jeni in the future so she can capture every special moment of our lives.
    Jeni, we cannot thank you enough.

    Jeni is SO great at making the individual/couple feel comfortable, which is important in having the photos turning out looking like "you." She's fun to work with and she really is great in working with what the couple envisions for their day.

    Jeni is 5 star all the way! I would highly recommend her to any bride who wants a photographer that is inventive, professional, kind-hearted, easy to work with and generally lots of fun!! She took all stress away and we didn't even have to think of anything.

    Virginia and I got married this past fall at Magnolia Plantation in Charleston, South Carolina. Starting with our engagement pictures to our wedding day, Jeni Rone made us feel very comfortable around the camera. She got to know us as individuals and as a couple. Her professionalism and responsiveness is above and beyond and we were lucky to have her. Family and friends both commented on how wonderful our photographer was and her ability to be everywhere at once. Her website is user friendly making it easy to share our memories with friends and family. THANK YOU!!!

    My wedding could not have been as perfect if Jeni had not been involved! She went above and beyond her call of duty as a photographer, helping us in almost every avenue of the event. She knows how to make you, the bride, feel incredibly special- almost like you are the only bride in the world. Not only did she help create a perfect event, she allowed us to view our amazing memories with her spectacular photographs! Thanks, Jeni!!!!

    OK brides, here's a groom's perspective on Sea Star Arts. There's a good chance that in all the emotions and excitement of your wedding day, many parts of it will be just a blur in your memory. If you want moments captured from artistic angles, images that will leave you touched to tears, family and friends caught loving the day and loving you and timeless gazes between you and your beloved that you will cherish for all of your lives together, you will find all this in Jeni Rone.
    Jeni covered our diverse and elaborate wedding ceremony as if she had two clones. I dubbed her the "stealth photographer" because she managed to collect the day from every perspective, near and away, yet I don't recall seeing her anywhere throughout the ceremony or reception. Some folks are just born to do what they do because they are so incredibly good at it. Jeni is one of those rare talents. I am so glad we trusted our day to her!

    Sea Star Arts Photography's reply:

    Oh Marty! You are truly a Light. Thank you for allowing me to capture an amazing day getting to know you and your family and friends! Love to you and your beautiful wife Jenifer! xo -jeni

    Jeni was amazing!
    Jeni's compositions are always very creative capturing angles, moods, and images that become beautiful memories!
    We took the Bridal portraits in the Francis Beidler Nature Sanctuary just outside of Charleston, SC, my husband's favorite place to go and recharge his batteries. Not many brides have their portraits taken in a old growth swamp, the pictures are magical and are like images from a fairytale. She made me feel like a princess the day she took my portrait! A small boy we passed during the photo shoot commented "Look Mommy there's a princess."
    She captured the "Love & Light" of our wedding day with her heart felt images and it is very evident she is passionate about her art. She is incredible at moving around the event, capturing priceless memories, and remaining stealth in the process.
    Jeni brings her "Love and Light" wherever she brings her camera.

    you are a blessing Jenifer! Cheers to you and Marty for a long happy marriage xo -jeni

    I could not have asked for a better photographer. Jeni not only did a fantastic job photographing my wedding, she also went above and beyond her duties to make sure that my day was all that I could dream of it being. She truly has an eye for what will make the best and most unique photographs. I especially love that I didn't have to choose a specific "package" for what I wanted out of my wedding photographer. Jeni asked me what I wanted, and made my husband and I a specialized "package" of our very own! Simply stated, Sea Star Arts Photography is the best of the best!

    Jeni is a pleasure to work with. She is always upbeat and really embraces the event and all the activities going on. She made what could have been a stressful day fun (direct groom quote). You never know she's even there but she is. Trust me, she always somewhere crawling on the ground or up on a table. She'll get the shot. Be sure to tell her whatever you specifically want in your photos. She makes the experience fun.

    Jeni is a wonderful photographer with a great eye for detail! With all of the running around that you do on your wedding day, it's hard to see eveything that goes on, especially for the bride. But Jeni captured all of the special moments and details that allowed us to relive that special day. I would highly reccomend Jeni to anyone who wants more than just posed pictures. She really makes you feel like you were there. Plus, she is so much fun and easy to work with! Definitely check out Sea Start Arts next time you need a photographer!

    Jeni was extreamly easy to work with! She was friendly, positive and made my shy groom feel at ease in front of the camera. She was willing to take any pictures we requested, but the most special pictures we have are the ones that she just had an "eye" for and snapped with out us knowing. She captured moments during our special day that we would have missed without her keen eye. Even with over 200 guests, Jeni managed to get shots of special moments with all of our special people. We could not be more thrilled with the ART that is our wedding photos - we truly feel like our pictures are from a magazine!

    We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photography experience. Jeni went above and beyond from the moment we first contacted her until we received our photos and wedding book. Her enthusiasm for weddings and photography is infectious. Her talent is endless. She captured so many priceless moments on film, in her creative and artistic way, making it very difficult for us to choose our favorites! I would HIGHLY recommend Sea Star Arts for your photography needs!

    Hi Jeni! We were so happy with your services. It seemed that you were part of the family.You captured the essence of the day to include the people and the setting. I have looked at the pictures so many times, ordered several times and am not done yet. Your photos provide me with wonderful memories of my daughter's wedding. Thank you so much and I highly recommend you to anyone wanting a keepsake of their special event. Fondly, Debbi Levesque

    I look at pictures from our wedding at least once a day and smile! The pictures help me to remember all of the little details of our wedding that I might have missed if it weren't for Jeni and her keen eye! From the beautiful shots of the bridal party to the fantastic series of the ring bearer and his "pet" grasshopper to the stills of our flowers, every picture is a wonderful memory!

    Not only was Jeni a resource on our wedding day, she was also very helpful during the planning stages of the event. Her professional input and feedback was invaluable.

    She did not miss a single minute of the preparations, the ceremony or the reception but at the same time was not intrusive. In fact, unlike other weddings that I have attended, she was not in the background of every other picture. I was so impressed! I would recommend her to everyone without a single bit of hesitation.
